In order to teach effectively, one must possess sufficient knowledge and have a passion for the subject; have the proper temperament and interact with youth and adults to provide a comfortable atmosphere where learning can easily be achieved.

McGinnis Driver Safety Centers™ Instructors do not just ride in a car with a student. We teach and build a strong foundation so our teen students, who are so at risk, can finish our program armed with the best education and training possible. Keep in mind, we are not just giving a student a license to drive, we are giving them a license to commit murder or suicide. So, we must treat this as serious as it is.

Because the startup process and professional development is complex and involved, we want an individual who desires to do the work, will take on the job and STAY. It does not require hard work, just strong dedication. It is a definitely a fun job!
